I played u/14's baseball with a Glenn Williams who signed a 1million + contract with the Atlanta Braves when he was 16.

37 is still young. There were at least three members of the Australian T-20 team older than that.
In baseball it doesn't matter if your fast balls are now slow balls, just as long as they can't be hit.

No doubt, but common practise does not make a legally enforceable contract.

Matt Hoy's mum was my 4th grade teacher at Allambie Hts- she let us watch the 78 GF replay in class. Hoyo went to Allambie Hts Public School as well, prior to them going back to Newcastle. This kid may be manly's if they had stayed, or maybe he wouldn't have been born, so idle speculation.

My 11 year old may well be a kangaroo one day. It would be wise for the club to put him on some sort of retainer asap. I would be prepared to look after the funds while he is still a minor.
